Edward Fuller 1841-1894 (1)

Son of the earlier Edward, he was educated at Woodbridge Grammar School and apprenticed to a local builder, George Thurman, as a carpenter in 1857. He walked up to London in the Late 1860's and found work on new housing in Wanstead, shortly afterwards starting his own business in Walthamstow.

Edward Fuller (2)

A shrewd businessman, Edward built houses costing around £130 each, and formed a long standing and fruitful association with the local brewery, Colliers, later Tollemaches, which lasted into the 1960's.

William Fuller 1873-1930

William succeeded his father while still in his early '20s. His three brothers had all joined the Royal or Merchant Navies, and he himself tried to enlist as a deckhand in his early teens, but was missed and brought home from Woodbridge. He continued doing similar work for his father; his wedding reception was held at the Common Gate, which Edward had built for £2,275 in 1888, and William went on to build a large number of houses which he then rented out.

Bob and Jack Fuller

Bob Fuller enlisted in the Royal Engineers in 1939 and served in England and West Africa. His brother Jack joined the Civil Defence Service, where his experiences were probably more demanding and certainly more distressing. Not only did he see more buildings in the area destroyed by

 enemy action than the family had constructed since its inceptions; he was responsible for rescuing and trying to save the lives of air raid victims while running the business, dealing with the additional repairs caused by bombing and giving support to the remainder of his family and friends whose husbands were on active service.

Bob and Jack continued working together after the war, reconstructing public buildings, housing and developing a number of factory units.

Hugh and Peter Fuller

Having served their apprenticeships with Symes and Sons and Dove Brothers respectively, including completing their then mandatory National Service, Hugh and Peter Fuller joined Fullers in January 1957. 

With Hugh's passion for building and Peter's meticulous attention to detail, the company developed a reputation for works to buildings of historic interest and completed contracts to thousands of properties and completed contracts to thousands of properties within Greater London. Both Hugh and Peter retired in mid 1990's but continue to offer support and advice to William Fuller who now manages Fullers with Contracts Manager Stefan Moretta, both trained carpenters, continuing the trade orientated culture of Fullers.
